    Meguiars Ultimate Protectant - Why?!?

    I used this on the trim yesterday, applied to a microfiber pad, wiped it on lightly, wiped dry, and after an overnight rain it had ran down over the paint everywhere. Never had a product do this, so disappointed. Now I need to figure out how to remove it without washing everything again. Safe to...

    Duragloss swirls from dampness...

    I used Duragloss on my 601/105 on my vehicle yesterday and it looks great. However, when it has morning dew on it you can see the swirls from putting on the duragloss. Can this be prevented from happening? Also, is a quik wax like megs ok to use from time-to-time on top of the duragloss?

    Got backed into in parking lot

    I just turned left to go down a parking lot aisle and a woman started to back out, I quickly stopped but she kept backing until impact. I could not back out of the way as I knew there had been a van behind me. I was at a complete stop for about 2 seconds until impact. A bunch of scuff on the...

    Paint Thickness Tester

    I have a question or two on these devices. When it gives a reading, is it the thickness of the clear, paint, and primer? How does it tell you only the thickness of the clear? Sorry been wondering this to long not to ask...

    Product drying to quickly

    I washed my FX today, and I decided to detail the hood in prep for DG 601/105. I started with Megs UC, then onto Megs UP. Both products dried way to fast when doing about an 18x18 section at a time. I realize I was in the sun, but the surface was cool to touch. I also primed the pad. I decided...

    Toyota Single Stage - AIO ideas?

    Last year I did my wifes Sienna for the first time using a DA. I washed, clayed, Megs UC, Megs UP, and then finished with a hand application of DG 601/105. It looked great afterwards. Since then, even with routine cleanings, the paint still looks stained with grime. I really don't like single...

    CCS Foam Pads turned different color

    I made the mistake of washing my microfibers with two of my CCS Orange Pads. The micros were washed before. Anyways, now my orange pads are maroon in color, lesson learned. The microfibers must have bled a little in the washer and the foam picked it up. Is it still safe to use the foam pads for...

    Megs UC then Duragloss 601/105?

    I am going to use Megs UC to remove oxidation on single stage Toyota paint using my new Griots polisher. Do I need to do anything in between that and applying Duragloss 601/105? I know its a Duragloss is a polish but will the paint look good, if all goes well, if I apply the Duragloss by hand...

    Pad usage for SS Toyota Paint

    I am looking to buy this kit as my first investment to better looking vehicles, Griots Garage Swirl Remover Kit. I notice it comes with only three pads. I would like to buy a six pack of extra pads. My wifes Toyota Sienna has single stage white paint and is oxidized, but nothing excessive. I can...
